i don´t listen to clean vocals, only a really few and selected ones.. simple because i don´t dig them,although i can appreciate them,and judge them etc. but i really dn´tlike heavy metal in general, only a few bands...
that vocalist from DREAM EVIL is VERYYYYYYYYY Good.
I preffer Black, death,thrash metal voices.
a lot of people bashes dirty vocalists.. but i don´t care..

Freddie Mercury The one and only!

Eric Adams Who would otherwise be able to stand Manowar's music?

Judit Holofernes From "Wir sind Helden". Talk about redefining the upper range, perfectly clear voice.

Max Cavalera If I had to record a "real" metal album, I'd hope Max would shout on it. That's a voice! Listen to some of the live stuff.

Shery Crow Because she can sing stuff everybody else would sound off-key in. Best on her bluesy stuff IMO.

David Lee Roth
David Coverdale
Robert Plant
Steve Tyler
Eddie vedder

My top 5, ranked in order:

1) Freddie Mercury - the best ever. Period.
2) James Hetfield - for his growl and stage presence.
3) Bon Scott - for his tongue-in-cheek loveable rogue persona.
4) Steve Tyler - for his showmanship and range.
5) David Coverdale - for his distinct voice and his soulful singing.

John Tardy
Aaron Stainthorpe
Chuck Billy
Kirk Windstein
Howard Jones (of Killswitch Engage, not the quiffed 80s pop singer! :))
